In support of the Department of Education’s thrust in reaching out to the schools in the far-flung barangays, the DMCI Power Corporation (DPC) distributed school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and school bags, to underprivileged elementary students in the island provinces such as Masbate, Palawan and Oriental Mindoro in time for the start of the 2017-2018 academic year.The DPC “Balik-Eskwela” program aims to equip students from public elementary schools with adequate writing materials.
“For this year, 20 schools and 985 students benefited from our Balik-Eskwela project. We intend to increase the coverage of our Balik Eskwela areas as we simultaneously coordinate with school officials for other forms of assistance for their institutions,” explained Mocs Maramag, DPC’s Head of Corporate Affairs.
